Politics is definitely not simple, and Zhou Huchen's timing is too good.

Emperor Hongguang understood the seriousness of dealing with Zhou Huchen severely, and Ma Shiying even understood that as long as he agreed with Yang Shihua's advice, it would be tantamount to tearing his face with Zhou Yuji, what to do next, losing Ruan Dacheng, and then losing Zhou Yuji, a powerful ally, that is, if Zhou Yuji does not make radical moves, Ma Shiying's situation will also be very difficult.

The compromise was not negotiable, Ma Shiying was worthy of being cunning, and under his hints, how to deal with this matter quickly came to an end.

Zhou Yuji's godson was not strict, the edict severely reprimanded, and the fine was one year, Zhou Yuji immediately returned to the southern capital to summon and contribute to this great victory.

Zhou Huchen ignored the dignity of his superiors and subordinates, in addition to reprimanding, demoted to one level and fined for one year, and continued to make meritorious contributions in front of the battle.

Later, Zhou Yuji's army was needed to conquer the world, the stick was raised high, and then gently put down, and Ma Shoufu compromised. And Emperor Hongguang was very satisfied with the handling of this matter, although Ruan Dacheng brought him a lot of happiness and a lot of unexpected new things, but unfortunately, the weight of these things was too light, and they couldn't be compared with Jiangshan Sheji.

Ruan Dacheng died like this, and he died very aggrieved. The officials of the DPRK and China were waiting to deal with the aftermath for Ruan Da Sima, waiting for Zhou Yuji to enter Beijing, but another matter had another point of interest, the question of the selection of the secretary of the military department.

As the soldier's military secretary, he has a high position, in addition to qualifications, this person must know how to do military affairs. Of course, Ma Shiying wanted to use his own people, but after the meeting was postponed and two people were proposed, Emperor Hongguang did not say anything, Ma Shiying felt something, and the matter dragged on like this.

Ruan Dacheng's death made some people sad, and at the same time made some people applaud, and this momentum of clapping quickly spread, without Ruan Dacheng's threat, Donglin people and people close to Donglin began to run to Nanjing frequently.

It's already hot. In the south study of the Qianqing Palace in Nanjing, Emperor Hongguang is taking refuge in the summer here. Emperor Hongguang is very fat, fat people are a little afraid of heat, and it is normal for the emperor to take refuge in the heat here.

Several internal officials were guarding outside, and in the study, the great eunuch Lu Jiude had just brought a cup of tea to Emperor Zhu Youxiang.

Putting down the teacup, Lu Jiude took two steps back: "Holy Lord, please use tea." ”

didn't move the tea cup on the table, Zhu Youxiang frowned lightly: "This soldier is difficult!" ”

"Holy Wisdom, this candidate for this soldier is indeed not easy to find."

Lu Jiude woke up quickly, and the emperor meant that this military secretary could not use Ma Shiying's people. Right now. Zhou Yuji defeated Jiannu, and although there were still Jiannu from Huguang threatening the upper reaches of Jiangfang, on the whole, the situation had stabilized. It's just that he can't completely defeat Huguang's Jiannu along the way, with Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong, there should be no problem in defending the river. The most important thing now is to stabilize the court, and at the same time to stabilize Zhou Yuji, who has a heavy army.

"What do you have to say?" After speaking, Zhu Youxiang picked up the teacup:

This is no longer the emperor who looks a little muddy on the outside, commanding squinting eyes. is very different from the image of always being silent in front of everyone, Zhu Youxiang obviously has his own ideas and his own wisdom.

The position of the military department is very important, and the people who use Ma Shiying will make the power too centralized. It is just right to use Ruan Dacheng's death to change the situation of this Yiyantang. If there is also a problem with the use of Donglin people, once this position is obtained by Donglin people, it will undoubtedly cause internal disputes, and the most haode method now is to find a trustworthy "non-party person".

This "non-partisan person" should not only be steady. To have qualifications, but also to know the soldiers, such a person is obviously very difficult to find.

Cai Maode is good. is upright, knows soldiers, and does not belong to any sect, but unfortunately, he and Zhou Yuji have a very close relationship, and he is in charge of the military department, and Zhou Yuji leads the troops, which does not seem to be appropriate. The other candidates are either not qualified enough or have never been in charge of military affairs, so it is very difficult to choose.

Lu Jiude thought about it for a long time, and he finally said his thoughts, the eunuch is the emperor's house slave, although Lu Jiude has a good relationship with Ma Shiying, but his rights and life and death come from the emperor, so he must first think about the emperor.

"Saint, the slave thinks that there are two people who can relieve the saint's worries."

Zhu Youxiang nodded lightly: "Lu Banban said to tell me about it." ”

These two people are both Jinhua people, one is Zhang Guowei, and the other is Zhu Dadian. Zhang Guowei used to be the secretary of the military department during the first emperor's period, he was square and rigorous, and his subordinates were well-organized, and he was the direct boss of Fu Chenghou in the past. The other is Zhu Dadian, this person was the governor of Shandong, pacified the Dengzhou Rebellion, and also knew the soldiers, Zhu Dadian later served as the governor of Caoyun, and now he is the left squire of the military department, however, this person is not as good as Zhang Guowei to be able to command his subordinates, there are corrupt things, although he is loyal, he can act too strongly. ”

These are two candidates with different styles, Zhang Guowei belongs to the pro-Donglin person, although Zhu Dadian is not Ma Shiying's person, but he is a little close to Ma Shiying, although he is loyal, that's what he means. And what Lu Jiude means is that Zhang Guowei is more suitable, because he was Zhou Yuji's old boss and can subdue Zhou Yuji, especially the unruly Zhou Huchen has also had dealings with Zhang Guowei, and he will definitely not dare to be presumptuous in front of Zhang Guowei.

"How's it going?" Zhu Youxiang thought for a moment and put down the teacup.

What Zhu Youxiang means is that he preliminarily agreed to use Zhang Guowei, but Zhang Guowei is recuperating at home, and how to recall him back to the court cannot be directly brought forward by him, the emperor.

As the head of the slaves under the emperor, he must be able to figure out the meaning of the master, Zhu Youxiang's words Lu Jiude can understand, and he immediately replied: "He Kai, the servant of the Ministry of Works, is strict and cold, and the servants can go to his mansion without being vulgar." ”

He Kai, the squire of the Ministry of Works, is relatively square, and Ma Shiying is not far away, it is very suitable for him to come forward in the court, plus the help of other officials and the emperor, Zhang Guowei's opportunity to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of War has become a foregone conclusion.

At the court meeting two days later, a large number of officials such as He Kai, the waiter of the Ministry of Industry, and Cai Maode, the waiter, echoed one after another, and Emperor Zhu Youxiang quickly expressed his approval.

Seeing that many officials came forward, the emperor, who had never spoken much, expressed his opinions unexpectedly, Ma Shiying reacted, this court meeting was full of the emperor's shadow. This is a challenge to Ma Shiying's rights, and the history of Yiyantang seems to be about to become a thing of the past. But Ma Shiying has no choice, he knows the relationship between Zhang Guowei and Zhou Yuji, and Zhou Huchen seems to be eyeing him, Ma Shiying doesn't dare to turn his face with Zhou Yuji's father and son - Zhou Huchen likes to be unreasonable and shirtless, and Ma Shiying is really a little afraid.

Ma Shiying was afraid that Zhou Huchen would aim directly at him, he knew very well that since he dared to shoot Ruan Dacheng to death, he was probably the first assistant in Zhou Huchen's eyes, Zhou Huchen didn't dare to shoot him to death, but it was really not a good thing to always be eyeing him.

No matter how you think about it, Ma Shiying feels that this matter is full of conspiracy, and the reality is very plump, but it is developing towards a sense of skin. There was no choice but to compromise wisely, and Ma Shiying had to choose to back down again.

With Ma Shiying nodding in agreement, Zhang Guowei was reactivated as the new secretary of the Ministry of War, and the relevant documents were quickly handled, and a few days later, with the documents and holy decrees, the officials of the Ministry of Rites immediately rushed to Dongyang.

Cai Maode also became the victor, he was relocated to the Ministry of Officials, and changed a seat with the original Ministry of Officials, because the original Ministry of Officials was Ruan Dacheng's person, which was equivalent to once again priing Ma Shiying's corner.

Zhu Dadian was also reused, and he would take the title of Shangshu as the governor of Jiujiang to replace Yuan Jixian, who was held hostage by Zuo Mengeng. (To be continued......)
